Canadian government: Not only do they preserve the level of security we need to be able to live and function, but in a society governed above all else by the rule of law, the way police enforce the laws may be the main factor that separates success from failure; the one that staves off the forces of chaos on one hand and authoritarianism on the other, according to Toronto Star.

The practical importance of these abstract ideas may have become obvious in Toronto recently: With the recommendations of the inquest into Jermaine Carby death at the hands of a police officer, and the impending inquest into the police shooting of Andrew Loku; with the recent debate into the practice of carding ; with the questions of transparency surrounding the Special Investigations Unit approach to police conduct; with publicized power struggles between police chiefs and the boards that are meant to oversee them about budgets and about policy implementation; with a sudden spike in shootings in Toronto at a time when an outgoing Deputy Police Chief spoke about this as a low point in terms of public trust and legitimacy. It follows that we have few rules as essential as those that govern policing.
